Still more progress to be made, but things are certainly moving in a good direction! Always encouraging to see such news in the papers.

Thank you very much good redditor! Always a pleasure to learn new things.

In fairness, adding PV to buildings seems sensible even if it weren't terribly efficient because to not do it simply seems to be wasting energy that is literally falling from the sky for free. And I would agree that a major country such as Germany being dependent on other countries for something as significant energy is rather poor as a policy decision, given how it allows other countries to use that as leverage. Always good to have leverage over others, not so good for them to have it over you.

Out of curiosity, how does that work when Germany has a much lower number of sunny days on average?

Now hopefully Germany can try and get off of its coal habit. Hopefully adopt more things along the lines of nuclear, wind, or solar if they can manage to make the latter work with how cloudy the place is.
